For over 20 years, he turned Halloween into a community celebration while raising vital funds for the Hollis Volunteer Fire Department, where he also served as a steadfast volunteer. Beyond the spooky chicken house, Dan was an ordained minister, Mason, truck restorer, and dedicated community leader. A devoted husband and mentor to many, his spirit will be honored at his memorial service and carried through this year’s haunted season, which kicks off September 18th. His presence may be gone, but his laughter, fear, and love? Still haunting every corner. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
